Shelter Blues
I got the blues. The shelter Blues. The homeless shelter Blues. Tired of being homeless, tired of being po’. Tired of being punished for lacking financial dynamo. The curfew. The expectations. The staff with no compassion. The meals with no flavor. The uncomfortable beds, rooms too hot or too cold. It’s never just right. Man,…

Censored: parents just don’t understand..
Sigh. How did I find myself here? I’ll tell you how. And no, I’m not BLAMING my parent for anything.. I’m acknowledging harm done. I’m acknowledging trauma and drama passed down from generations. Parents ought to understand that the trauma and pain and misunderstanding you went through as a kid, was half their fault. They…

Who, Me?

Blue pill infomercial
I took the blue pill. This is my story. . . . I wake up at 2 am on a Friday night. Another Friday to wallow in my loneliness. I flip through the rolladex of my memory. To find all the humiliating moments and piece them together like a jigsaw puzzle. . . . The…

An Inconvenient Life
Man. Life is a mystery. A history we repeat over and over. I’m so fucking tired of the machine, the wheel and the grind. Shit. God is to blame. A Legend we fear, Century after Century. No one ever asked me how I felt about coming back to this God-awful play. Act. To Live, is…

IMTHEBADGUY
Sigh I’m a terrible human being. My friends think so.. That iPad, ..the apartment, ..all of our conversations.. They pour and pour and pour. I take and take and take. I’m miserable. They comfort me. I’m broken. They try and put me back together. I’m desperate. They provide escape. I’m worn out. They pick me…
